Brenton Haven Beachfront Resort is located just steps away from a stunning beach, offering incredible views and spacious accommodations. The staff is generally friendly and eager to help, but the dining experience can fall short of expectations. While the self-catering units are a great feature for flexibility, the amenities and services are not as comprehensive as one might hope for the price. Overall, it provides a decent escape with some notable pros and cons.
